Take a step back into history and enjoy the Red Clay Creek area, its mill, scenic railroad, creek and more. This 2 story brick colonial home was built in 1940. It is secluded at the end of a cul-de-sac on a private road, and set back against a front lawn of lush green pachysandra, large white rhododendron trees and azaleas. Two flagstone paths on either side of the house will direct you to the prettiest unobstructed view of the Red Clay Creek and Wilmington Western Railroad. Large cherry laurels and majestic trees provide privacy and limited views of neighbors. The back yard consists of 2,000 square feet of grass flanked by pachysandra and ivy. Your family will enjoy sitting on the 1,000 square foot composite deck hearing the sounds of nature or watching several cardinals or woodpeckers gather food. Sometimes a deer or rabbit can be spotted hiding behind the majestic trees. Squirrels dance through the trees and an occasional eagle soars above. Entertain guests or have a family cookout on the lower blue stone patio overlooking the Creek. From most rooms, the views are amazingly spectacular. The historic Western Railroad chugs by, and tourists wave as the captain toots the horn. During the holidays, the train is decorated with colorful lights. If lucky, Santa may be seen when peering over the hillside slope. There is plenty of room for a growing family with 2150 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths, unfinished basement with walk out and side entry 2 car garage.
